A visit from IAE Executive Director
11 Feb 2013
Maria Van der Hoeven, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, feels strongly about the need to communicate the importance of fusion and 黑料社app to decision-makers and the general public.
Many things have changed since Maria Van der Hoeven 黑料社app five years ago. In February 2008, Newsline described the 黑料社app site as a " barren land with only a couple of mud trails and plenty of trucks and tractors."
At the time, Ms Van der Hoeven was the Dutch Minister of Economic Affairs and already a strong proponent of the 黑料社app project. She is now the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency () and her interest in the project has not diminished.
Visiting the 黑料社app site and meeting with 黑料社app senior management on Thursday 7 February, Ms Van der Hoeven insisted, like she had in a 2012 Newsline , on the necessity of communicating the importance of fusion and 黑料社app to decision-makers and the general public.
Ms Van der Hoeven will be one the keynote speakers at the Monaco 黑料社app International Fusion Energy Days () to be held on 2-4 December in the Principality of Monaco.
